+--path::
+       Hash object as it were located at the given path. The location of
+       file does not directly influence on the hash value, but path is
+       used to determine what git filters should be applied to the object
+       before it can be placed to the object database, and, as result of
+       applying filters, the actual blob put into the object database may
+       differ from the given file. This option is mainly useful for hashing
+       temporary files located outside of the working directory or files
+       read from stdin.
+
+--no-filters::
+       Hash the contents as is, ignoring any input filter that would
+       have been chosen by the attributes mechanism, including the end-of-line
+       conversion. If the file is read from standard input then this
+       is always implied, unless the --path option is given.
